Windows movie maker problems playing movie

[JCTW]

Hello,
The transition from one particular video clip to the next sometimes freezes. The length of the freeze depends on how much of the video has been played. The freeze gets longer the more video has been played and it occurs near the end of a 100 minute video. When I play it from the beinning it is a long freeze. How can I prevent this?

Are you merely watching the video clip in Movie Maker or are you editing it with Movie Maker? If you are editing the clip give some details about transitions or other effects you have added. Is this a new problem or has it occured with other lengthy videos as well?
